A Deeper Look into the Yankee's Record

All season I have seen the Yankees do a pretty good job at picking eachother up when one guy has a bad day, but just how well have they been able to pick one another up? I decided to take a look at the game log and see what the yankees record was when each player did not recieve a hit in a game they appeared in.

*Note: These stats do NOT exclude games where a player only had one AB in the game.

Yankees common lineup and record when each player did not record a hit:

1) Derek Jeter: 16-13
2) Johnny Damon: 15-23
3) Mark Teixeira: 18-18
4) Alex Rodriguez: 16-14
5) Hideki Matsui: 31-17
6) Jorge Posada: 13-21
7) Robinson Cano: 17-19

8) Nick Swisher: 29-20
9) Melky Cabrera: 36-17

Nothing here is a big shocker. The players who are known to be more valuable to winning are the ones where when they dont hit the Yankee's record is close to .500. It's quite impressive to see Jeter only playing in 29 games where he didn't record a hit since he has appeared in 134 games this season. Maybe the most interesting is the fact the Yankees have the lowest win percentage when Posada and Damon dont record hits. The only evaluation I can give there is Damon is the Yankees leader in runs scored and batting 6th Posada has a lot of ABs with men on base so his bad game tend to be very detrimental to the team. Either way it shows just how many of the starters are extremely valuable to the Yankee's success.
